Can we call this game a 60 minute effort? This the first one of the season?
- Guile

I wouldn't. The third was not a full effort. Definitely better but not full.

No thats me, I don't know when they dropped the 77 but it's not my fault. I never noticed until right now

That's incredibly strange. It shows up as either "Dcoms" with a capital D or "dcoms77" with a lower case d without any real rhyme or reason. Like you were dcoms77 earlier today and now you're Dcoms.

The third period sucked. Gonna chalk it up to taking the foot off the petal after dominating play, but I would not be surprised to see a full regression for next game. Hope we keep this kind of effort though.

It's "the two period Pens". That's the best we get. Never a full game.

F Neideretter.....or whatever the fvck his name is.

That is crazy and by no effort of my own. Would be quite the coincidence 2 people with that similar a user name from this sh!t hole tow that is for sure. Dwayne better get his sh!t together, that's Eks real name.

Nino is one of my favorite so maybe im just to bias. But he normally doesnt do that. I'm crazy mad at him but its not his game to do that.

I don't care if it is in his game or not. Last year Suter threw a vicious elbow at Downie. Now Nino goes full scum bag. The league should be suspending players severely for that stuff.

I understand and mostly agree. But a first time offender wont get a severe suspension.

Which is why they will keep doing things like that.

Maybe for suter but Nino a first time offender doesnt keep doing anything. Hence being a first time offender.

Then make first time offense penalties more severe.

Surprised no new avatar for YouMeandDupuis with that interview with Horny! That's all I could think of when I watched it.

Hahaha...maybe I'm working on it...

I thought about it too, but am too lazy to change my avatar. It's just one of those perpetual procrastination things.

^ why the James Neal stuff didnt bother me as much as most. League doesnt really care anyway...

They're checking Maatta's internal organs now after he left the game on a stretcher. I seriously hate that Nino punk right now. I hope the NHL suspends him. I can't see how that doesn't warrant a suspension.

I did guess maybe midsection injury... but was thinking just a bruised or slightly cracked rib(s)... not freaking organ damage.

still no points for sid. no luck for sid

oh and we don't play scuds and we win... who would have thought

and nino really needs to get suspended just as long as maatta will be gone (lets not kid ourself he will be gone some time). just a completly stupid check from behind.

Oh Geno Machino!!! What moves! What a play, what a player!! Great pass by Dinger just quietly - hope MJ saw that!

What happened to Maatta? Another incident by a Wild player that doesn't play like that????? Wow we must just be the unluckiest bastards having that happen 2 years in a row!!

Good win against a very good team - well done Pens!

I hope if maatta is out that they call up pouliot and play dinger too and not scudz instead of playing scudz and dinger

MJ said he was impressed by Dinger - (frank) me he should be reading my posts (wienerhead!). When asked if Pouliot would be first man up, he responded with there are different players down there for our different needs. I understand that as they are still looking for a player that can successfully carry a man sized backpack around on the ice so Scuds can't skate in front of another puck & carry it into his own net!!!

Looks like management might be a little cold on DP at the moment!

It will be interesting to see who they call up, if they call anyone up before the road trip. Tim Erixon has been the guy they called up before. I hope Maatta is OK as he was just starting to gain confidence and getting a chance to show what he can do away from "the piece".

I actually think the league may suspend Nieterieter as they look more at the result and not the intent. Naturally it will be light but I am very interested in the explanation they give.

It's the old hockey is a contact sport, & if the gate was closed there probably wouldn't have been an injury. I haven't seen it only heard different explanations, but if the gate was shut would we be discussing this? If the answer is no no way there's even a review in my opinion.

he was hit from behind. that the door was open was just bad luck but he shouldn't even be hit there. really bad hit by nino and the league should set an exampel. same thing that not even a minor penalty was called happend in the blues - colu match where lethera got sent to the hospital too. sick of poop like that
